This podcast answers the questions:
1) Why have you chosen to become a teacher (or perhaps, it has chosen you)?  In what ways might you understand teaching as a calling?  To what extent might you see teaching as part of your journey in experiencing connection, community, and wholeness?
2) Resiliency may be described as our attempt to deal with a lack of connection, community, and wholeness.  Can you recall a time in your own educational or personal experience which required you to demonstrate resiliency?  How did you manage to remain resilient?
3) What might be some ways that you anticipate having to exercise resiliency as a teacher?  What will you do to help yourself thrive in the role of teacher, rather than merely survive?  How might your faith intersect with your role as a teacher?
4) Have there been any significant cultural beliefs or experiences which have influenced your desire to become a teacher?  Has your understanding or experience in matters related to social injustice had an impact on your decision to become a teacher, and if so, how?
5) How might your current educational philosophy have been impacted by your own educational experience in K-12?  By your experience thus far at APU?
